Schemes and nuances of knitting in the technique of Irish lace crochet, advice and recommendations for work.

Irish Crochet Techniquelace for about two centuries. The founder is considered to be the Irish noblewoman Riego de Blancardie. She came up with the idea, which was a lightweight version of the much more labor-intensive Venetian lace created with needles and bobbins. In the 40s of the 19th century, Mademoiselle de Blancardie published the first book with crochet pattern diagrams of her product samples. In essence, this type of crochet work is the creation of a fabric that is knitted with thin threads from individual small motifs, and then they are combined into a whole composition. Most believe that only very skilled craftsmen can create a magnificent lace and elegant product using the Irish lace technique with their own hands. However, it is worth thinking about - to knit a small flower or leaf, and the motifs in Irish crochet lace are mainly of a plant nature, even a beginner can, but combining all the elements into a single whole is just patience + time. Looking at the finished openwork, original and unique product, it will be immediately clear that the result is worth the effort. There is, in the execution of things using this technique, a very pleasant moment - the arrangement of motifs will fully correspond to the fantasies and ideas of the needlewoman. The product will actually turn out to be completely unique and inimitable.Schemes and nuances of knitting in the technique of Irish lace crochet, tips and advice on work .. Photo # 1An important part of Irish knittingcrochet lace is to connect parts into a single fabric. The simplest and easiest way is to sew ready-made motifs onto a tulle base. If you knit with very thin threads and a hook of the appropriate size, you can even use nylon tulle as a base. Another way to connect elements is to attach one to another during the knitting of the last row. Using this method is suitable for arranging large elements; you can tie smaller parts to them as a connecting part. The method is also convenient if you need to connect small compositions of small motifs. A slight difficulty of this method lies in the need to very clearly imagine the finished picture of the product in advance. A more openwork option would be to sew motifs onto a pre-knitted fillet mesh, or connect the elements using a mesh with an irregular cell size. This is the most common way to arrange a finished fabric. And, probably, the most successful. It is very convenient to fill empty spaces of the canvas with cells of different sizes, connected in different directions, this grid “flows” around the motifs, and the whole pattern looks more organic and integral. Closely located motifs can also be sewn with a needle.Schemes and nuances of knitting in the technique of Irish lace crochet, advice and recommendations for work .. Photo # 2For those who are taking their first steps in knitting thingsusing the Irish lace technique, creating a whole product will be a difficult task. It is better to start small, for example, with finishing various products with inserts knitted in this technique. A small strip along the bottom of a skirt or a shirt collar made with Irish crochet lace will make the item unique and exquisite. Before you start knitting, you should very carefully think over and make a pattern. It should be full-size, take into account all the darts, in general, it must be built according to the strictest sewing rules. If sewing designs are not the needlewoman's strong point, you can take as a basis an old, well-fitting product that you will not mind ripping into pieces, or order a pattern from professionals (it will undoubtedly come in handy not only for this case). It is best to make it from thick fabric, so it will be more convenient to perform manipulations on the preliminary arrangement of the parts. If you are knitting imaginatively, and not copying a finished product, then you should not make many details at once, it is better to knit several and find the most successful combination of them. It is the process of finding the ideal arrangement of motifs that will be Creativity. It happens that individual motifs themselves look elegant and look great alone, but in a composition, they seem to "pale", while, nondescript and ordinary, at first glance, leaves and flowers, united by the imagination of the craftswoman, "sparkle".Schemes and nuances of knitting in the technique of Irish lace crochet, advice and recommendations for work .. Photo # 3Another important aspect of manufacturing products inThe technique of Irish lace is assembly. Often, the motifs are attached with the wrong side up, so it is more convenient to attach them with a net or sew them together. In the latter case, it is necessary to make the seams as inconspicuous as possible - this is one of the main rules. Having filled in one detail of the pattern, you can proceed to the next one, there is one nuance here - the places where the parts are connected, for example, the back and the shelf. If some leaf or flower goes slightly beyond the boundaries of the shoulder or side seam, it is even better - the second part must be assembled taking into account this piece of the fragment. When attaching motifs is done with a net with irregular cells, it is important to know - it has no back and face, and there are no clear recommendations for knitting it. In the process of creating a product, each craftswoman will have her own unique way of connecting parts. It can include several different options, the main thing is that the product looks harmonious. It is important that the mesh is not too "loose", it is better to knit it tighter, and in order for the elements to stand out more, they can be knitted using the "crayfish step". The color scheme and texture of the yarn play an important role in products made of Irish crochet lace. If you have doubts about the selection of a color combination, you can safely choose one shade. "Ireland" in one tone is always a winner, and if you use yarn with different textures, this will give additional relief and expressiveness to the finished product. If you want something brighter, you can choose, for example, sectional dyeing yarn (no more than 2 shades). Color selection is very important. You shouldn't take out multi-colored leftovers from your stocks; when knitting, you may simply not have enough of a certain color, and even beginners in needlework know that the same manufacturer's color in different batches may differ in shade.Schemes and nuances of knitting in the technique of Irish lace crochet, advice and recommendations for work ..
